Strata-East records

[king ubu]

Just gave a first spin to Cecil McBee's "Mutima" (German Bellaphon CD), which I acquired last week - pretty nice!

If someone is interested I have a copy (2 actually) of Dick Griffin's Strata East LP The Eight Wonder (with 4 bonus tracks from another session) on Konnex CD's from 1994.

e-mail sent!

I have the Charly CD re-issue of the Strata-East album "Two is One" by Charlie Rouse. The CD booklet advertises Charly CD re-issues of Strata-East albums by Gil Scott Heron (Winter in America), Pharoah Sanders (Izipho Zam), Larry Ridley (Sum of the Parts), Clifford Jordan (Glass Bead Games), as well as several Stanley Cowell and Charles Tolliver CD's, all under the heading of "The best of Strata-East Jazz". The Charly CD's were released in the late 90's and can still be found in the usual places (Amazon, Half.com, ect).

I very much doubt that Charly records had an official imprimatur to release the Strata-East material.

As far as I know, most Charly releases were non-authorized!

Charly did indeed release unlicensed stuff. For example, their Chess releases were all unauthorized.

Do you have two spares or just one?
